Birthing center in NY

I am pregnant with my first and would really like to deliver in a birthing center. I live in Brooklyn but I am open to centers in the city as well. Has anyone had any experience first hand with a birthing center? I would love to hear your feedback.

Yes! I've been getting well woman care at the Brooklyn Birthing Center on Ocean Ave and Quentin for almost two years. I know many of the midwives and there isn't one that I don't feel comfortable with. There was no doubt that I would continue prenatal care there, and choose the center for the birth. We've been to an orientation at this center and I recommend that you do the same. They do not take every client that walks in the door (you must meet certain criteria), but if your pregnancy is normal and you have a good support system set up for after the birth you'll be fine. The facilities there are very comfortable (check out their website - just google Brooklyn Birthing Center).

There are no birthing centers besides the BBC I'm Brooklyn. I wanted to birth there as well but after a tour of the facility and the half-knowledgeable orientation I chose not to. I would go and check it out yourself and then decide. To me, the facility was not clean and cared for and I knew I could have the natural birth I want at a hospital with the doc of my choice.
